Neither.


such (a) and so go with a that clause.


It was such a good film that I watched it twice.

It was such a good film that I wanted to watch it again.

The film was so good that I watched it twice.

The film was so good that I wanted to watch it again.


such (a) and so rarely go with as and an infinitive, and then mostly in formulas of politeness.


Would you be so kind as to help me with these packages?

Hi CJ


Would it be better if 'saw' and 'see' are used instead of 'watched' and 'watch'?
